[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that's too much for a 13 year old.  She's babysitting until 11pm  each night?  You need someone older. [/quote]

+1. It's not the bathtub. I would be worried that a 13 year old won't be able to stay up that late and function properly the next day. Are you not at all concerned about your babysitter's well-being?[/quote]

[b]That's not OP's job.[/b] That's the job of the parents of the girl. I am the parent of a 13 yr old and I wouldn't let her babysit until 11 except on Saturday nights.[/quote]

So what? I don't understand adults like you who would not only just shrug their shoulders and say, "not my problem," but then also actively take advantage of possibly poor parenting of the 13 year old. [/quote]
NP, but I think it's more along the lines of letting other parents take care of their kids, while I take care of mine. I  think it would be presumptuous for me to decide that this girl can't possibly babysit until 11.  For all we know,[b] she's up until 12:30 every night and her mom is grateful she's being kept busy babysitting.[/b][/quote
